## **Overview**

Price embedded (also known as variable-price) barcodes allow the POS to automatically read both the item and its price directly from a single barcode scan. This is commonly used for weighed or variable-price items such as deli meats, cheeses, and bakery goods.

Instead of manually weighing each item at the register, merchants can use a barcode scale to pre-label products. When the barcode is scanned, the POS identifies the item and applies the correct price automatically, saving time and reducing errors.

**Requirements:** A compatible Honeywell scanner and a barcode scale that prints GS1-standard barcodes (UPC-A, UPC-B, or EAN-13).
